What is recorded here
Garryhundon holds two curved ditches north of the Killogan burial ground, drawing a boundary around life and death. The earth kept that shape hidden until drought brought it out in cropmarks, suggesting people once drew a clear line between the living and the dead.
Aerial photograph (GB20.GP.15) shows cropmarks of two concentric curved fosses, probably defining the northern boundary of a curvilinear enclosure located immediately north of the Ecclesiastical Enclosure surrounding ‘Killogan’ burial ground (CW012-025001-).
